Week 3 Reading Summary

The Three Dizzy Ducklings written by June Woodman and illustrated by Pamela Storey

This week I read a children’s literature book called The Three Dizzy Ducklings. It tells the story of three ducklings on an excursion to the zoo. The colourful illustrations within the book help children to visualise, understand and connect with the events of the story. I believe that this fiction book would be appropriate for lower primary students, as the text is repetitive and the large print is easy to read and follow. Woodman (1990) encourages children to enhance their reading ability by way of a revision section at the end of the book. This includes a list of challenging words that are exercised within the text, and pictures which show certain animals and the actions they perform during the book.
